PREFATORY' 

ECURITY PORTLAND CEMENT has been on the market since iqo8. 
Some 4.000,000 barrels ha\e been sold and used and its reputation for 
uniformity and reliability has been firmly established. 

To meet the continually increasing demand for Security Portland Cement 
it has been necessary to increase the capacity of the plant three times. The 
last additions, made in iqiO, ga\'e a 33 per cent increase in output and brought 
the total capacity to o\er 1,000.000 barrels per year. 

Secl RiTV is classed among the high silica Portland cements and for this reason 
is pre-eminently permanent, there being not the slightest tendency toward 
retrogression with age as is sometimes the case with high alumina cements. 
(See Bulletin No. 331 U. S. Geological Survey, page 27, and Taylor's Practical 
Cement Testing, page 103.) 

Security Cement is made under the strictest chemical super\ision and every 
barrel is guaranteed to meet the Standard Specifications as adopted by the 
.American Society for Testing Materials and appro\ed by the American Society 
of Civil Engineers, and also by the U. S. Government Specifications. As a 
matter of fact. Security far exceeds these requirements. 

During the year ending June 30th, iqii. 35.025 barrels of Security Cement 
w ere used by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia and 3.502 samples 
were tested by the Engineer's Department. Every sample passed the specifi- 
cations, and not a single barrel was rejected — a record performance. Of other 
brands of cement used, nearly 2 per cent was rejected. 

Security has been tested and appro\ed by many well-known testing labora- 
tories and has recei\ed the endorsement of many prominent architects and 
engineers, including the engineers of the U. S. Go\ernment, City of Baltimore, 
and of a large number of railroads. 

Security is regularly used by many of the largest and most critical users of 
cement in the country. Among others, the following: 

United States Go\ernment, in all departments (Treasury, War, Navy, total 
requirements of District of Columbia for several years, etc.) 

City of Baltimore, for all purposes (Sewerage. Water. Harbor. Electrical and 
City Engineer's Departments) 

State of Maryland Highways Department, etc. 

State of PennsyKania Highways Department, etc. 

Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company 

Cumberland Valley Railroad Company 

Norfolk & Western Railroad Company 

Western Maryland Railway Company 

Southern Railway Company 

Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company 

Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad Company 

Charlottesville & Albemarle Railway Company 

Washington Southern Railway Company 

United Railways Company of Baltimore 



Seclritv has been used in some of the most important work in the United 
States. For example, approximately : 

40.000 barrels in harbor and dock impro\ements by City of Baltimore 
425,000 barrels in sewerage system by City of Baltimore 
18,000 barrels in City of Cumberland, Md.. street paving, etc. 
13,000 barrels in City of Waynesboro, Pa., street paving, etc. 
23.000 barrels in City of York, Pa., street pa\ing, etc. 
5,000 barrels in City of Carlisle, Pa., street paving and general requirements 
3,500 barrels in City of Staunton, Va., streets and general requirements 
7,000 barrels in City of Easton, Md., for streets, bridges, etc. 
b.ooo barrels in City of Winchester, Va., for streets, bridges, etc. 
30.000 barrels in Roland Park, Md.. improvements 
225,000 barrels in Government work in District of Columbia 
50,000 barrels in Connellsville Extension of Western Maryland Railway 
175,000 barrels in Maryland State Road work 

30,000 barrels in Paw-Paw Cut-off of Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company 
50,000 barrels in Curtis Bay Piers of Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company 
20,000 barrels for double tracking requirements of Southern Ry. Co. 
23,000 barrels for bridges, etc., to Norfolk & Western Ry. Co. 
31,000 barrels for general uses of Cumberland Valley R. R. Co. 
7.500 barrels in American Ice Company's Plant, Baltimore, Md. 
148,000 barrels in work at plant of the Maryland Steel Company and Penn 
Mary Steel Co. (Branch of Bethlehem Steel Co. ) , Sparrows Point, Md. 

After all, the best guarantee of quality is that given by the multitude of 
structures built of Secl ritv Portland Cement, which stand as monuments 
to its permanency. 

Illustrations from actual photographs of a few of these structures, selected as 
typical of a large number, are shown in the follow ing pages.

Security Portland Cement 

was used by the United States Government at the 
Indian Head Proving Grounds, Maryland, in build- 
ing the foundation bases for testing the new monster 
lb" guns, which are the largest in the world. These 
foundations have stood the terrific shock of these tests 
without any sign of disintegration, are now in perfect 
condition and ready for similar future tests. 

We are especially proud of this distinguished per- 
formance of SECURITY Portland Cement, but are 
not allowed to illustrate it pictorially. What could 
more strikingly evidence the strength and perma- 
nencv of SECURITY' Portland Cement?
